JudgmentOfThePharaoh: A Chess Journey Written in Moves and Memes
JudgmentOfThePharaoh is not your everyday chess player; they are the sultan of strategies, the pharaoh of pawns, and occasionally the connoisseur of comedic checkmates. While their gender remains a mystery fitting for a username invoked from ancient times, their gameplay is anything but cryptic.
Starting out with modest ratings in the Blitz category around 1200, JudgmentOfThePharaoh has steadily climbed the ranks, peaking impressively at 2168 in Blitz as of early 2024, and an electrifying 2362 in Bullet near the year's end.
Not one to shy away from time pressure, this player boasts a colossal arsenal of games: over 16,000 blitz battles, 16,000 bullet skirmishes, and a sprinkle of rapid and daily duels. Their persistence is remarkable—making comebacks 82.68% of the time after a losing piece, they keep calm with a tilt factor of only 24, proving that even if the board’s set ablaze, they’re cool under fire.
From their favorite openings, you'll often find the Alapin Sicilian Defense and the Caro Kann Defense peppering their opening repertoire, boasting win rates north of 50%—not bad for a chess tyrant who commands both knight and rook like imperial generals. Their striking commitment to the Endgame is evident with an astounding 75% endgame frequency. If a match goes long, expect JudgmentOfThePharaoh to show their endgame nobility.
Chess Character & Style
- Average game length exhibits their patience: roughly 78 moves when winning, 70 when losing — a hint they like to think a bit more when they're ahead.
- White pieces yield just over 49% win rate, while Black pieces are a slightly humbler ~46.6% - the subtle chameleon of colors.
- Strategically sharp yet sometimes early in resigning (a mere 1.49%), they are a warrior who likes to fight but knows when to call it—no needless suffering.
- Clock management is a specialty: over 6,000 wins on timeout reveal a knack for squeezing opponents in time scrambles, but also a tendency to flirt dangerously close to deadline themselves.
